Tooth loss is a bleak reality that many people must face. It can be extremely hard to deal with. The smooth flow of your day-to-day life suddenly becomes choppy. You have difficulties eating, speaking, and now a rush of embarrassment and insecurities flood your brain when you simply smile. And tooth replacement? You can’t imagine yourself having dentures already! Although healthy, functioning replacements are the ideal option, the possibility feels closer to a fantasy than a reality. You don’t have to live in this unhappy place anymore. The office of Jack B. Share, DDS can help you discover the best solution for restoring a complete smile: dental implants in Beacon Hill. This revolutionary treatment offers patients unmatched beauty and health benefits.

What are dental implants?

Traditional dental prosthetics have only addressed visible parts of the teeth. This was aesthetically pleasing but didn’t do much for function or the overall health of your mouth. Nowadays, we’re able to replace both the root (below the gum line) and the crown (above the gum line) of a dying or lost tooth. Dental implants are small, titanium posts that mimic the root of your tooth, restoring the health of your jawbone. Our dentist will then attach a prosthetic tooth to your dental implant. This way, your implants offer a comprehensive approach to tooth restoration that does what no other procedure can: replicate a healthy tooth from root to crown.

How are dental implants placed?

Once you have met with Dr. Share and agreed that dental implants are the right choice for you, the first phase includes the surgical placement of your implant posts. This sounds intimidating, but our office has your best interest, safety, and comfort in mind. We understand the beauty of subspecialties in dentistry to achieve the most pleasant, effective results. Dr. Share will refer you to see a trusted oral surgeon or specialist that best fits your oral health needs. By referring you out of our office for the best surgical care, we are saying, “We want you to be in the best hands possible for this procedure. Your health and well-being are more important to us potential income.” Dr. Share truly believes your well-being is our office’s first priority!

Once your implants have been placed by one of our reliable, credible oral surgeons you will need to take the time to heal. In just about three to six months, your jawbone and gums will naturally fuse to your implant, mimicking the originally lost tooth root. After your body has adjusted, you will return to our office so that Dr. Share can attach your dental restorations to your dental implants.
